To Buy My Books

Yes, really! It is easy with one-click.

Our Guatemala Adventure

"I could see the termites, smell the tamales and hear the foreign sounds. This isn't a lofty memoir with messages of transformation and deep learning, it's a day-to-account of what it was like to literally begin a new life together."

Helena Carr is finally ready to live. But first she's got to wake up from her coma.

"Gowen guides her readers into a world rich with difficulties and limitations, yet leads them through the trials to a wonderfully satisfying ending.... I strongly encourage this book for anyone looking for a unique and uplifting book." --The Road to a Dream

A novel about love, marriage and divorce, not necessarily in that order

"What a wonderful book about enduring love. A truly inspiring book about the trials and tribulations of a marriage. The characters are engrossing and the storylines inspiring."

Actually, this IS your mother's cookbook....

"The best dumplings recipe ever! They actually melt in your mouth light and fuffy! Well written recipes that have stood the test of time. One if my favorite new cook books. So far every recipe is a keeper."

Self-help memoir

How to Eat Like a Normal Person and Still Lose Weight

#2 in my Diamond series "Steel Magnolias with Mormon characters"

"Gowen has an amazing talent for rich and meaningful prose. The moment you open the first page you are captivated by her writing style. Through her narrator she gets into a conversation with you and it feels as though her characters are letting you in on their deepest thoughts and feelings. I was so pleasantly surprised by how deeply I enjoyed this book, it was a real treasure."

Take a peek inside the lives of a real Mormon family

"I just loved the central character, Marcie. She's a young mother, trying to do her best for her family but who often is overwhelmed by life - like the rest of us. I loved the spirituality that is an integral part of this Mormon family's life."

Based on my mother's growing up years on a 1920's Nebraska homestead

“It concerns real life, relatively ordinary activities, drawn with the precision of a Norman Rockwell painting.” ~The Omaha Reader
